Hello all,

I realize it's been a fairly long time since my last update. Never fear, I have not forgotten. The antimatter just seems to be eating at me more than it used to.

I have recently acquired a job as an Accounts Receivable clerk at a local Roto Rooter office. It's decent pay, but I can't say that the job constitutes full-time. They opted to give me full time though, so no complaints. My main gripe is that it's a family-owned business, and it seems to me that this family should not be in business. Some people just aren't organized or motivated enough to run their own business. They literally have no procedures, very little in the way of a filing system, and their core program was written many years ago in DOS. They don't know why they even hit which buttons they hit, they just know it gets them where they need to be.

Needless to say, this has become a very stressful work environment. On top of the disorganization, they keep piling more tasks that are nowhere near being in my original job description. But for now, I just sigh and plod onward because I can't afford to not have a job again. I guess my life, creative pursuits, and projects will take a backseat to finance for the moment.

Back into the can for now, I go. Later on...
